How to get to Monkey Island and Orchid Island from Nha Trang?

To get back to the city from the port, according to an August 2026 tip, take a taxi or the bus: the stop is opposite the port, and you need to flag the bus down by waving. Another option, the participant said, is hitchhiking — in his experience cars stop on their own.

An adult boat ticket, according to messages from late June and early July 2026, cost 280,000 VND. Prices can change, so double-check the amount on site.

Getting to North Port: bus #12 or minibuses toward Doc Let from the Louisiana restaurant or the Galina hotel. Tell the conductor 'Monkey Island' — that is how the stop at North Port is known. Alternatively, take a taxi. This route was repeated in messages from June to August 2026.

At the port, tickets are bought at the ticket office. According to messages from late June to August 2026, boats to Orchid Island and Monkey Island depart every 30 minutes from 8:00 to 10:00–10:30, and return to the mainland at 13:00 and 15:00. In mid-June the same participant gave a wider window — 8:00 to 12:00–13:00 — so check the current schedule at the ticket office.

A participant's warning from June 2026: monkeys on the island sometimes bite visitors. In that case, he said, you need a doctor and vaccinations, plus a long break from alcohol. After any animal bite, see a doctor promptly and follow their instructions.
